The US-Israel war on Iran is a catastrophic escalation in an already devastated region, and Britain must not be involved. It is causing appalling death and destruction in Iran and risks plunging the area into wider war. Already it is causing economic convulsions around the world.
Its aims seem to change daily, but it is clearly an illegal and unprovoked war, one that started in the midst of negotiations. Its organisers have learned nothing from the carnage and chaos caused by previous wars on Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.
Unsurprisingly, the war is deeply unpopular here and around the world. We call on our government to end all participation, to stop allowing the US to use British bases to pursue it and to join others in calling for an immediate end to the attacks.
